The board members also take on one incredibly challenging task: voting for the annual Theia Awards of Excellence winners. With only a handful of winners and hundreds of nominations, it’s never an easy task.
This year, WO is sending a hearty thank you to the 2021-2023 advisory board, who represent different interests, career paths and focus areas:
- Camille Cohen, OD, of Brooklyn, New York
- Lori Grover, OD, PhD, of the Center for Eye and Health Outcomes and American Optometric Association trustee
- Monica Johnsonbaugh, OD, of Grosse Pointe, Michigan
- Hardeep Kataria, OD, FAAO, of Oxnard, California
- Stacy Lyons, OD, of New England College of Optometry
- Janette Pepper, OD, FCOVD, of Southern College of Optometry
